Yes. You can cruise in wind as low as 5 knots with the equipment currently available on the market (large kite and/or board). For jumping you may need around 7-8 knots.

Yes. You can kitesurf in wind as low as 5 knots with the equipment currently available on the market (large kite and/or board). Since the sport is still very young, future equipment is likely to be improved such that one may be able to kitesurf in lighter wind.

Since the sport is still very young, future equipment is likely to be improved such that one may be able to kitesurf in lighter wind. However, most kitesurfers dont really bother going out until the wind is at least 8-10 knots or more.
